Really looking forward to this game now. Not confident about getting anything but I think it'll be a close game.
Should be a great atmosphere! I wouldn't be concerned about fans being in the home end, I'm sure they'll keep their heads down and there won't be any trouble.
Rumoured that Buckle will be at match tomorrow -commenting for radio.
I'm sure he will get a warm welcome from both sets of fans!
Who will give him most stick-Yellow Army or Gasheads?

Lemme think, Torquay who he got promotion from the conference with, or Rovers who he almost took down to the conference ?
Can't see how he could show his face tbh, but the ego in him will probably mean he'll be there. Can we request he do your half time draw??
I know that many do not like Mr Buckle but I will always be grateful for the way he dragged our club up from the gutter, got us promoted from the Conference in only 2 seasons (not to be under-rated as an achievement just ask Luton Town or nearer to home Exeter City), got us to 3 play-offs in his 4 seasons, got us to Wembley for the FA Trophy final, got us to the brink of promotion to League 1, and took the FA Cup seriously with the club seeing an extraordinary number of successive cup runs, as well as changing the pasty supplier. He deserves credit for what he did in his time at our club and it is just a pity that the Bristol Rovers board acted disgracefully taking more notice of impatient fans and disgruntled players who got the club relegated last season than a professional manager with a proven record of success. Discuss ...!

Yep I heard that too. Commentating for BBC radio Bristol. Was put on the Rovers web site then removed. Why? Haven't a clue.
Should make for some inventive singing. I hope we don't slag if off to tell you the truth because we have moved on. In fact lets do the opposite wind the gasheads up.
"There only one Paul Buckle"
"How many managers have had"
"When are you sacking Mark Mcgee"
lol
Hope Northy gets a good reception though. Can't help feel he held more together than we realised.
